Could this problem be my Gearbox Diff on its way out on my VR6 Corrado. Last month I was driving my car and I noticed a slight wobble, I though this was the road surface. As the weeks have gone by the wobble and knocking noise has got worse, to the point where you can feel the knocking/wobbling in the car. The car is at the garage at the moment and they have checked my wheel bearings and all other things front and back of car and everything is fine, they said my diff in the gearbox is very noisy. Could this be my above problem?

Where can I get a re-conditioned gearbox from for my 2.9 Corrado VR6? And how much am I looking at

If the Relay and Fuse Board for my radiator fan on my C VR6 was Kaputt would it cause my fan not to work properly. i.e, your radiator fan comes on a 90-92 dgress “speed 1”, 100-103 degrees “speed 2” and 120 degrees “speed 3”. My radiator fan only comes on at 100-103 degrees “speed 2” and it only blows really slowly and my car seems to running round in the high 90’s low 100’s. When I first got the car and up until 2 months ago my radiator fan used to come on at 90-92 degrees. If the relay and fuse board was Kaputt would it cause this to happen.

Stage 1 on my cooling fan is not working, i have been told stage 1 of the fan is at 90-92 degrees "water temp". this was working properly 2 months ago and now my engine is over-heating. i have replaced with genuine new VW parts: Radiator Fan Water housing Thermostat Coolant Two stage fan sensor "bottom of rad" stage 2 works fine 100-103 degrees it comes on. are there any fuse relays that make this work?

Hello people, my car engine 2.9VR6 has started to over heat for the past 2weeks now. when i am cruising around town the water temp gauge stays at 90 degrees, but when i thrash my car about it goes towards 100 degrees and does not go back down. when i first got the car 11 months ago up untill 2 weeks ago it ran bang on 90 degrees even when i thrashed it. i have had a genuine new radiator, fan, fan sensor and i have also had my water pumps checked out by VW. when i first got the car i replaced my thermostat "could my thermostat be the problem? please help

I have had this problem with my corrado VR6 for ages, only my front passenger side brake pad is squeaking realy loud and its pissing me off. I have taken my car to the garage 4 times now for them to clean my caliper and put some of that copper greese on my pad to stop it squeaeking but it keeps coming back. What can I do to stop this? The garage have checked my driver's side caliper, pads and disk and they're the same as the passenger side, funny how it's only the passenger side.
